default mta is sendmail, but in your configuration it's not set, so it should use sendmail: what are you doing? by any chance, have you messed up your machine? > /usr/bin/mail: invalid option -- 'o' > > usage: mail [-dEIinv] [-a header] [-b bcc-addr] [-c cc-addr] [-s subject] > to-addr ... > > [-- sendmail-options ...] > > mail [-dEIiNnv] -f [name] > > mail [-dEIiNnv] [-u user] > > Original write failed, wrote bug report to > /var/tmp/reportbug-reportbug-20110205-19020-3W3kR1 sendmail supports -o options, mail maybe not, so it's either you running reportbug in some weird way or something is wrong on your machine. -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
